CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 409,533, dated August 20, 1889. Application filed September 20, 1888. Serial No. 285,911. (No model.)

T0 all whom. it may concern.'

Be it known that I, IVILLIAM lVALTER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Saltsburg, in the county of Indiana and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns 3 and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, and to lett-ers or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a. part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of this invention and is a top view. Fig. 2 is a vertical section.

The invention relates to improvements in churns; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts, as hereinafter sot forth.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the churn-body, and B is the cover thereon having the projection vO at one side, upon which is secured the bearings a for the crankshaft D. The object in placing the crankshaft at the outer end of the projections is to remove the operator from the fumes of the hot water contained in the tub E. The cover B has the lateral lugs Z), perforated to engage the rods c c', rising from and secured to the churn-body. One of said rods c is longer than the other, so that the cover may be lifted upward and swung to one side, carrying the dasher out of and resting its lower end on the edge of the churn-body when it is desired to remove ,the butter and wash the churn.

F designates the dasher-blades, perforated in the usual manner and radiating from the vertical shaft G, which extends upward through openings in the cover and frame H, and has the pinion d secured thereon.

I is the rack-bar engaging the pinion d, and having its opposite side moving in the overlapping guide-plate e, secured to the frame II, and a pin f, standing from said frame, projects through a central longitudinal slot g in the plate. The rack-plate is reciprocated by means of thc pitman-connection .I with the crank of the shaft D. It is obvious that the reciprocation of the rack-plate will convey a vibratory motion to the dasherblades within the churn-body.

The hot-water tub E has secured to its bottom the brackets K, designed to hold the churn-body free from the bottom of the tub to allow water to cover or surround the churn. The integral spring-arms L, standing permit of the movement thereon of said.

cover with the dasher While the dasher is being removed, and to permit the dasher to remain connected to the churn-body after such removal, substantially as set forth.

2. In a churn, the combination, with the churn-body having the long rod c and short rod c, and the cover having' the projection and the perforated lugs, of the crank-shaft having bearings extending from the cover projection, the rack-plate, the overlapping guide-plate, the pitman, and the dasher-shaft having the pinion, substantially as specified.

In a churn, the combination, with the churn having the eyes and the tub having the hooks, of the brackets secured to the bottom of said tub, provided with the springarms, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM VALTER.
